And, along with some other readers, Robyn Krause’s poem made me laugh out loud.

I enjoyed reading all of them. Thank you!

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 14:29:12 +0000http://blog.lionbrand.com/?p=4513#comment-18396Don’t be too hard on the ones who question the validity of these poems as Haiku. They are correct, and while I did enjoy many of these poems, I also cringed at their being called Haiku. Haiku is such a beautiful and meaningful art form, a part of me hates seeing it so distorted. However, I also think this little contest may have awakened a few minds to learn more about true Haiku so in that way, and in the fun it has provided for all of us, it has been a positive event. I am among those who would enjoy the opportunity to read all the entries.

I think your contest was a great idea and was just sad to see the negative comments. As others have said – Lighten up!

I keep a crochet journal of all the things I make and I am going to put some of these in it (maybe even write some of my own!). I have also included some Lola comic strips in my journal.

I also would like to be able to read all of the entries. One or 2 per newsletter would be great!
